Chapter 71
Michael was still fast asleep when his phone began to ring the next morning.After the call rang a second time, Michael's eyes sprang open. He rubbed his temples as he felt a slight headache. His body was heavy, and his mind was as blank as a sheet of paper.The call came through again, and he slowly checked his phone screen—it was a call from Stephanie.Michael picked up the call, and a soft voice came from the other end of the phone. "Good morning, Mr. Quinn.""Good morning, Miss," Michael responded, half-asleep."I'm so sorry for disturbing you so early. I was worried that you left the party unannounced yesterday."Michael exhaled softly as he replied, "My bad. An urgent matter came up."Stephanie didn't argue with him. "I thought as much too."Then, there was a moment of silence at both ends before the lady asked softly, "I don't know if there's a possibility that we will meet again?"Michael smiled slightly. "Of course, yeah.""Really? When is that? Today? Now?" Stephanie teased.

She was expecting him to mention places like a nice hotel, a beachside, and the like.The fact that this young and handsome man beside her was always unpredictable doubled Stephanie's interest in him."Uncle Joe's gemstone gallery?" she asked again, and Michael nodded in affirmation.Stephanie didn't argue with him since that was his choice.

"Oh..." Stephanie was surprised that Irene, who had claimed to be omniscient earlier, could become so humble.To cover up the shame, Irene quickly suggested, "Miss Collins, since you have an interest in this collection, let me reach out to my colleagues for assistance."Stephanie agreed, and Irene called on two of her colleagues.The young ladies came forward, and Irene asked, "Miss Collins would love to know about this collection of rare stones. Does anyone of you have any information about them?"Just as Irene had done, the ladies' eyes were fixated on the collection, staring at it for a long moment.Stephanie finally cleared her throat to break the deafening silence.The first lady spoke up, "I have never come across this rare collection in my entire career."The other lady confessed too, "Since we couldn't help, I believe Sam Trevor should have some information about them."

"Welcome, Uncle Joe," Stephanie greeted politely, surprised to see him walk in at a perfect time. "My beautiful Stephanie. You didn't inform me of your visit."Stephanie smiled slightly.

Joe's eyes flashed with anger. Sam just brought right before his nose, the guy he never wanted to see anymore. However, Sam wasn't at fault. It was Joe who had told them to respect whoever appraised the alexandrite earlier.Joe's cold glare shifted from Sam to the box on the table. His eyes squinted at a stone with a unique pink color and brilliance. Instantly, the elderly man felt a change within him as a thought struck his mind.Then, he dismissed Sam.Joe exchanged a glance with Stephanie as he asked Michael, "What's the problem with the gemstone?"Michael cleared his throat and replied, "Mr. Collins, I want to suggest that you keep this precious stone personally.

Stephanie joined Michael and genuinely pleaded, "Mr. Quinn, I want to beg you not to take everything that happened to heart."Michael turned to look at her. "There's nothing to be troubled about. I should be the one pleading with you for stressing you out here."Stephanie looked at Michael with a bit of surprise at his gentleness and cool-headedness. Not only was she impressed by his calm attitude, but he was also very handsome."It's fine. We can still visit somewhere nice to brighten the day," Stephanie suggested.Michael pondered it for a moment and agreed with her.Then, the young lady led the way out of the commercial complex and was heading towards her car when a familiar voice called out to her, "Hi, Miss Collins."Stephanie paused and turned to look in the direction from which the voice came, and it was Austin.He was about to enter his Audi Q5, which was parked in front of Stephanie's car."It feels so nice to see you today," Austin said in a flirtatious tone as he walked clo
